MIAA commissioner Dr. Bob Boerigter on Tuesday announced his retirement effective January 31, 2017 after 45 years of service to intercollegiate athletics. Boerigter, the fourth full-time commissioner in MIAA history, has served in the position since the fall of 2010.

"It has been my honor to serve as the commissioner of America’s finest Division II athletics conference," Boerigter said.

During his time as commissioner he has implemented an expansion program of both full-time and associate members to the MIAA. In addition, in 2012 he directed a year-long celebration of the MIAA Centennial and has been the principal figure in attracting NCAA national championships to sites within the MIAA.

In his tenure, the conference has produced 10 national team champions in six different sports, in addition to a number of individual national champions.
